Chapter 1164: Chapter 1160: Zi Wei Gave Her a Bottle of Medicine
“Meow!”
Su Yingxue hooked her arm around Chu Yihan’s neck, encouraging him to lower his head, and planted a kiss on his face.
It took a long while for Zi Wei to slowly let go of Yue Lian after they had departed.
He was highly vigilant and only dared to breathe heavily within the range where neither Chu Yihan nor Su Yingxue could sense him.
“Hubby… I’m sorry.”
Yue Lian took a step back, looking at him with remorse, “Just now, I was in too much of a hurry, and I almost got discovered by the emperor and empress.”
If Su Yingxue had found out, Zi Wei… probably would have been very upset.
Zi Wei didn’t respond to her and left without looking back.
He could have watched Su Yingxue return to Song Garden, but now he couldn’t, and longing for even another glimpse of her was wishful thinking.
Yue Lian didn’t dare to delay and followed behind him back to the inn, but Zi Wei wouldn’t see her. She knocked on the door twice, and he didn’t respond at all.
Yue Lian’s heart was filled with sorrow, “As I thought, it’s my fault after all.”
If she hadn’t twisted her ankle or screamed out loud, perhaps he would have spent more time with Su Yingxue and been a bit happier.
She returned to her own room and started working on design sketches late into the night. The letter she had sent to Xiao Yu previously had not received a reply, and she didn’t know whether he was dissatisfied with her preliminary design.
She was sketching until midnight when the old steward knocked on her door.
When Yue Lian opened the door, the steward looked bemused, “Miss, did something happen between you and the young master? Just now, he appeared at the door and stuffed a bottle of medicine into my hands, uttering two words: ‘For her!’ This should be for you, right?”
Yue Lian took the medicine bottle with confusion. Upon opening it, she recognized the scent of bruise ointment, as she was familiar with such medicines from working with equipment and sustaining frequent injuries.
“Zi Wei has asked you to bring this to me…” Yue Lian could hardly believe it, but the hand holding the medicine bottle could feel very tangibly that the medicine was real!
The old steward nodded, “Yes! How could I mistake the young master? Given his usual reticent nature, aside from you, it definitely could not be for anyone else! If it were someone else, wouldn’t they be dead already?”
How fearsome was Zi Wei? All in the Yue household had experienced it at some point.
Although he had never killed anyone in the Yue household, there had been a servant who accidentally bumped into him. The instant he drew his knife, the servant fainted, and soon after fell ill. The doctor said it was due to a fright that caused a breakdown. It wasn’t long before that person passed away.
Therefore, the steward was certain that aside from delivering medicine to Yue Lian, Zi Wei definitely wouldn’t have dealings with anyone else.
“He finally has me in his sight!” Yue Lian thought, moved to tears, her delicate face expressing an indescribable excitement.
She clutched the medicine bottle and did a twirl in the room, twisting her ankle again without even noticing the pain!
Seeing her joy, the steward sighed wistfully, “Miss, how long has it been since your marriage, and the young master has only given you a bottle of medicine? You are too…” good-natured, aren’t you?
How much had she given to Zi Wei?
He had just handed her a common bruise ointment!
Was that really enough to make her this happy?
“Steward, you don’t understand! His care for me is always an unexpected joy!” Yue Lian wiped her tears and placed the medicine given by Zi Wei under her pillow, too reluctant to use it.
She treasured the bottle like a rare gem, gazing at it lovingly, “All I want is for him to be happy; I’m willing to do whatever it takes! If he wishes to return to the empress’s side… I’ll definitely help him!”
